Receiving ads when I shouldn't be
Recently I've been occasionally experiencing ads for a channel (specifically xQcOW) and I've been subbed while he has ads for subscribers disabled. I access his channel primarily from my Chrome web browser. Usually they are ads from what seems like a different country, specifically from what seemed like European countries in European languages. I do not use a VPN and I also do not have an ad block program enabled on his webpage. Usually refreshing the page removes them but it is frustrating to experience nonetheless.

It only happens to me with a small streamer (Kayosama25). I've been subbed for 15 months and I am getting ads now and then. I am subbed to many other channels, like Ibai and not a single ad appears. I thought it was my browser, Brave, but I am also receiving in my mobile phone.

I'm having same issue recently on chrome browser.
so frustrating, there is no benefit being subbed or not to get rid of ads -_- -

I'm having the same issue on Desktop using the Brave Browser. I've tried going through and disabling all ad block extensions and related items but still get ads on subbed channels pre roll and mid roll.

I have been having the exact same issue. On every single channel I'm subbed to, including but not limited to RayNarvaezJr, SpacemanSplash, BaldZebra, and MaikenBacon. I've been a very, VERY longtime sub of Ray (over 6 years, almost 7), and have only just started to get this issue as of 11/8/2021. I've never had ads on any channel I've been subbed to until now. I want to continue to support my friends.

Can confirm this is happening to me randomly as of yesterday, 11/10/2021. Affected channels at least include BoxyFresh, Beardageddon, Headsplitter500, and DramaMoon6. Logging in and out does not affect this behavior.
I should not see ads because I'm paying a subscription to these channels (and more). Please implement a better control to verify subscription status of a viewer, because as it stands you are double dipping.
